This is explained in this article – Eicar is not an execution file but a text file with a signature in it and Cylance is not signature based.
Cylance antivirus software#
I tried using the Eicar ( link here) test malware to see how this software would handle it – how it alerts and all that.Nice it is global so that it my bother me but no one else once I add it to the list. Global Lists is currently blank, but if there are false positives that is how they will be dealt with.But this is nice, if something bad starts to happen I suspect it will be grabbed. This is very different for anti-virus software – right? Not big policies to deal with and all the decisions.The settings are default and that means I will start with them and see how it goes.If you select the Settings button at the top, which is slightly greyed out you will see the policy, and it is all enabled.
Cylance antivirus plus#
Cylance antivirus install#
The install will also prompt to clean up the install bits which I say yes too.I have to enable an extension for Cylance but that is quick and easy as I am prompted and I then just have to hit allow.Practically the second step is to copy and paste the token.So I download the DMG file and start installing. I like how we can add a device via email too.Which I have hidden in the screenshot above, after all I do not want to manage your anti-virus install! We need to use the Add a Device button.It looks sort of interesting, and yet boring at first.So we need to log into the management UI – link here.So we have the bits, and we will need the token that is available with the bits, as that is what will connect the install to the management infrastructure securely. My test machines have either macOS Mojave (10.14.5) or Windows 10.Pretty small which is nice and I was happy to see that a low page count did not equal low functionality or less features! Docs – here is the quick start guide, and the user guide.This is important as it is where you will do policy, and check the condition of your protected machines. In the email after the purchase there is a URL to register.But you have to enable it if you remove Cylance. When you install on Windows it will actually tell you it doesn’t uninstall any. So I uninstalled my previous AV – which was Trend. I cannot tell from the quick start guide, or the user guide if the product will uninstall other anti-virus software.If you don’t have Cylance as a benefit of work, you will need to head to to buy the bits, and have the cloud helping to protect you.If you have Cylance as a benefit of work, to get the bits you need to go to and register.So this article is about me making it work. And interesting enough it has a 10 device package for 50 US / 59 CAD per year. It is next – generation type of security software that does anti-virus – the product is Cylance Smart Antivirus. I heard a number of guys who I trust and believe in talking about Cylance, and looked into it. So I need some new anti-virus in the lab and I was thinking I need something better than traditional AV.
